When you play tired, you stress your skeletal structure a hell of a lot more than when your muscles are doing all the work. The extra 3-4 minutes of rest, well placed, can help avoid having a player out there who is not able to fully protect himself.

Wtf does 'reaggravated his leg injury' mean though? Muscle or tendon injury is one thing but the injury that screwed Beal over last season was a fracture in a bone. If this has happened again Beal isn't going to see the court again for a while.

This sucks. He's been looking really good this season, and I feel like if he stays healthy, he can be a top 3 SG in the league in a couple years. I think we can all agree that injuries are no fun. Get well soon Bradley.

Edit: apparently, it is in poor taste to complain about my fantasy team at the same time. Seriously, I love watching Bradley Beal and I think he's a future superstar if he can stay healthy. I'm very unhappy about this as a basketball fan. The fantasy thing is just an extra bit of suck.

It's not really poor taste, it's just everytime there's an injury or something game-related there's always someone that says something about their fantasy team. Eventually it gets annoying seeing repeated crying about imaginary teams based on stat-hoarding (and this is coming from someone who is a r/fantasybball reg).
